Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 packet (1 oz) taco seasoning
- 1/2 cup water
- 12 slider buns (Hawaiian sweet rolls recommended)
- 2 cups shredded Mexican blend cheese
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 1/4 cup salsa
- 1/2 cup crushed tortilla chips (optional, for crunch)
- 1/4 cup melted butter
- 1 tablespoon taco seasoning (extra, for topping)
- Optional toppings: shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, sliced jalapeños, chopped cilantro
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook ground beef breaking it apart until browned. Drain excess fat.
- Add 1 packet taco seasoning and 1/2 cup water. Stir and simmer for 2-3 minutes until thickened. Remove from heat.
- Slice the entire pack of slider buns in half horizontally (keeping them connected). Place the bottom half in the prepared baking dish.
- Spread the cooked ground beef evenly over the bottom buns.
- Sprinkle 1 1/2 cups of shredded cheese over the beef.
- In a small bowl, mix mayonnaise, sour cream, and salsa. Spread this mixture over the cheese layer.
- If using, sprinkle crushed tortilla chips on top.
- Add the remaining 1/2 cup cheese over the chips.
- Place the top half of the slider buns on top.
- In another small bowl, mix melted butter and 1 tablespoon taco seasoning. Brush this mixture over the tops of the buns.
- Cover with foil and bake for 15 minutes. Remove foil and bake for an additional 5-7 minutes until tops are golden and cheese is bubbly.
- Let cool for 5 minutes. Slice into individual sliders and serve with desired toppings.
Notes
For extra flavor, you can toast the buns lightly before assembling. Leftover sliders can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave.
